Referring to the week after the current one.
خلفية ثقافية
Indonesians often use 'Minggu depan' loosely. If someone says they will do something 'Minggu depan', it might mean 'sometime soon' rather than a strict commitment to the next 7 days. In formal Jakarta business culture, 'Minggu depan' is taken literally. It is expected that you specify the day (e.g., 'Minggu depan hari Rabu') to avoid confusion. Because 'Minggu' also means Sunday, in a church context, 'Minggu depan' specifically refers to the next Sunday service. Younger Indonesians often shorten 'Minggu depan' to 'Mingdep' in texts. This is very common on platforms like TikTok and Twitter.
The 'Next' Rule
Remember that 'depan' (front) is used for all future units: Minggu depan, Bulan depan, Tahun depan. It's a universal pattern!
Avoid 'Depan Minggu'
English speakers often say 'Depan Minggu' because they think 'Next Week'. Always put the time unit first!
